Is Ronal still making those wheels? Last I checked (over the summer I think), they were taking orders for a special order, and if their werent enough people, they werent gonna do it...or have they changed their minds?

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

You know I used to hate these wheels but they are growing on me. They remind me of a modified 91-92 wheel with a deeper dish. And thanks for bringing back a 3 year old thread.

They have been discontinued. They can be bought used, but they are expensive. Check the classifieds here.

Thanks for the info, I was told that Ronal makes limited runs on them based on requests. Any truth to that at all?

As far as I know the final run for these wheels was about 5 years ago if memory serves.

I purchased the last set brand new never mounted for the original price thanks to my friend Marc Drillick aka yachtmd- Marc passed away the day before I was there in Miami to make the pickup

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

These wheels were put back on the market about 7 years ago. At the time Ronal said that it was to be the very last production run and as far as I aware they have not produced any since. Any that were still available would have been produced back then I strongly suspect.

What size tires are you putting on these wheels?

Re: Looking for pics of Camaro with the 82-92 Ronal (Firehawk) rims

245/45 17 = height:25.68 in. width:9.65 in.

275/40 17 = height:25.66 in. width:10.83in.

there are a few different choices

U can go with 245/45/17 on the front
and 275/40/17 on the rear

What are the choices and are the tire sizes listed here correct?
